Hello friends. I have been battling a Samsung TV with startup issues. I replaced capacitors successfully about a year ago. Then started in last few months having startup issues again. Through some suggestions on here and recon online and checking some voltages from power supply (which are good), I feel that my main board is the problem.
I found a youtube and some DIY's which explained that the main board creating startup issues is related to two specific parts (surface mount chips) on the back of the board...
I own a soldering iron, and I am a NOVICE at soldering. But I decided to attempt to remove the chips BEFORE buying replacements, just in case... Well after about 2 hours of work, (they only took 2 minutes in the video!) I think i have killed my board. I need a damage assessment. Take a peek...
